I started paying into Social Security when I was 10, have worked steadily since I was 15, and retired at 75 with reasonable savings and SS. I, like so many others, payed into and earned this modest retirement. Send Musk to Mars and Trump to jail.

There was a 13 point swing last night in TN-07.
If we see a 13 point swing in South Carolina in Nov 2026 Lindsey Graham will be retired and I will be the first ever pediatrician Senator.

Admiral Bradley is set to brief Congress tomorrow on the boat strikes—
Which brings Admiral Holsey’s recent resignation to mind, after he informed Hegseth that he had no intention of carrying out an illegal order after 40 years of service in the U.S. Navy—
I’d like to hear Holsey’s testimony too

If we're not at war, Pete Hegseth is a murderer. If we are at war, Pete Hegseth is still a murderer. He's a murderer. And you don't need to go to The Hague to hold him accountable because there are perfectly good, American laws AGAINST MURDER.

Pete Hegseth Should Be Charged With Murder
No matter how you look at the strikes on alleged “drug boats”—as acts of war or attacks on civilians—Hegseth has committed a crime and should be prosecuted.

Brandy X Lee is owed a huge apology. She tried so dutifully and responsibly to warn us and was vilified for doing so.
We all have a duty to warn; Trump is not fit to be the President of the United States.

This timing makes a lot more sense now, doesn’t it?
Adm. Alvin Holsey resigned in October as commander of U.S. Southern Command right after flagging concerns about those U.S. military strikes on “suspected” drug boats in the Caribbean.
He served for 37 years.

Rand Paul just posted this letter from the Coast Guard confirming that 1/4 of the boats they stop carry no contraband. The likelihood that Hegseth & Bradley ordered the murder of innocent civilians is very high.

I thought Pete was pro-war crimes back then?
And then very upset about the very idea of soldiers not following illegal orders just last week?

Here’s Pete Hegseth in 2016 arguing there have to be consequences for war crimes and how the military won’t follow unlawful orders from their commander in chief.

Hegseth digs himself in deeper. Fog of war? Nobody believes that. He too was sitting in an air conditioned room and gave orders for a second strike because he saw "something." Wonder what that something was.
Q: So you didn't see any survivors after that first strike?
HEGSETH: I did not personally see survivors. The thing was on fire. This is called the fog of war. This is what you in the press don't understand. You sit in your air conditioned offices and plant fake stories in the Washington Post

Doped up Donnie does it again. Posts bullshit "truths" all night and can't stay awake all day. Poor Donny. Life is so hard when you are do deeply compromised and so widely despised.
For years, MAGA voices attacked Joe Biden over every slow step, every stutter, every moment of fatigue turning normal aging into a political weapon. They dissected him frame by frame, declared him unfit, and claimed the country deserved better.

Some u-boat commander killed a bunch of helpless shipwreck survivors, and the excuse he ginned up was that he was shooting at the wreckage, not the luckless sailors clinging to bits of it.
